Insert Coin - The Making of Mortal Kombat, NBA Jam and other Killer Games - Full Length Documentary

[@thornstrikesback]

Being in my 40's allows me to really appreciate the interviews in this doco, but at the same time allows me to remember everything they are talking about. I still remember my first time playing T2 at my local arcade. It was the first game I felt ripped off because I died so quickly, but also didn't hesitate putting more money in just to see what scenes from the movie were in the game 😄

[@SecondLifeAround]

This needs to go viral!

[@insertcoindoc]

Let's do it!

[@RetroGamingNook]

This doc is an absolute gift. I sure do miss Williams arcade games and pinball. Looking back, the 90s were as amazing as the 80s in a slightly different way due to the advancement in tech.

[@ninjagrinder]

I still remember when I streamed it through one of those virtual cinemas and then finally got a hold of my BluRay copy, pin included. I lost count of how many times I've watched this, thank you so much for putting it together and sharing it again!

[@rodneyabrett]

That was so good! Hearing Tim Kitzrow do the NBA Jam announcer voices put an ear to ear smile on my face. 😃

[@insertcoindoc]

Glad you liked it! Please share this film out!

[@rodneyabrett]

@@insertcoindoc I shared it on my work slack. I work at a fairly large video game studio and there's a lot of older gamers like myself that would also enjoy this trip down memory lane! Cheers

[@DavidRodriguez-jn7sg]

Street Fighter 2 and MK basically kept the arcades alive for 10 extra years.

[@OttawaInHD]

Love those games

[@prophismusic]

One is a fighting game, and one is a joke. I like fighting games, I like jokes.

[@Meday354]

Pure nostalgia, felt like I went back in time. Loving this documentary

[@BURRITO44]

Robotron was phenomenal !! So was Smash TV !! Arch Rivals was great !! Terminator 2 was fantastic !! Plus -- Mortal Kombat !!! Fascinating video !!

[@insertcoindoc]

Thanks! We tried to include as many games as possible, so glad you liked those!

[@mattschaeferdesign]

Everything about this is a great! Galloping Ghost (the best place on earth) featured! All the stories. Gerstmann. On and on. Warms the heart.

[@Dorelaxen]

I met Mark Turmell a few years back when he was at a convention (his first, actually). That was when he first revealed the truth about NBA Jam and the Bulls/Celtics matchups. NBA Jam was the one and only sports game I've ever enjoyed. Mark was super cool and signed my SNES copy of the game and had endless interesting stories.

[@HATERSHAQ]

I've been a fan of many Williams, Midway and Capcom games for over a decade since I've had a PS2...now that I'm 30 years old, I still like arcades and own these games on MAME.

[@insertcoindoc]

The games still hold up! Thank you!

[@BURRITO44]

Loved many Williams Midway games !! Awesome video !! Love Narc !!! So happy Narc was not cancelled !! It’s a very tough business to either make video games and own an arcade !! How about inventing the hardware plus the software !! We should all appreciate the hard work involved to bring us gamers great entertainment !!

[@insertcoindoc]

Thank you! Please share out!

[@INTERLOKOMKP]

Rock & Roll! Joe Perry: I won't say that

[@Bramon83]

did in the most perfectly subdued way. i loved that too. this was SOOOOO good

[@gaips]

Would love solo documentaries on WrestleMania and Mortal Kombat. Please make them and make a Kickstarter.

[@marcludwick512]

Couple of my favorites too. That would be awesome.

[@insertcoindoc]

There is a Wrestlemania segment on the blu-ray!

[@RealHomeRecording]

@@insertcoindoc nice! is that the one available on Amazon? I don't think it mentions bonus features...

[@gaips]

@ I know. I purchased it a long time ago. I just wish you had a documentary that covered solely WrestleMania and one that covered Mortal Kombat.

[@BUPMY1]

​@@gaipsWas the Blu Ray worth it?

[@JoeDoesVoices]

I loved this! It was fun to hear all the backstories about my favourite games that I never knew about as a kid/teenager. After the Mario games years prior, Mortal Kombat 1-3 were my next great gaming obsessions. I used to study all of the moves and couldn't wait to try them out at the arcade at the weekend. My parents wished I'd studied for school with that kind of energy, haha. I had NARC on NES before I ever knew it had been an arcade game and loved it. Definitely had to use the Game Genie to get to the end, but I got stuck. Couldn't figure out how to beat Mr. Big. I got so irritated that I put a little "FOR SALE" sign on my copy of the game and didn't touch it for a few months. Haha I did eventually figure it out :) I played it in the arcade for the first time earlier this year! I loved all of these games. Thanks for uploading this!

[@insertcoindoc]

Thank you! Please share out!

[@RobsRetroGaming]

This is an awesome documentary!!!

[@gummybums]

Credit to raw thrills. Their arcade games are fantastic. All of them are so fun to play.

[@lonreed9743]

I’ll never forget the feeling i had when I seen a flyer from Electronics Boutique with Mortal Kombat. I took it home, cut it out and pinned it on my wall. It was coming to Super Nintendo and I was there on Mortal Monday in September. I have the flyer framed on my wall now!

[@XaMaS35]

Just watched it. Excellent work! I really enjoyed seeing the story of how some of those games were made. Thank you!

[@insertcoindoc]

Thank you! That is super cool of you. Please share this out!

[@Bramon83]

this is SO good. i love this so much. thanks for such an amazing doc, two thumbs up!

[@insertcoindoc]

Thank you! Please share out!

[@irick00]

This was entertaining and educational . More please 🙏

[@XXXXX8]

Shoutout to Savant. Been listening to him for well over a decade now. SWOUP

[@MrTacoHuman]

21:16, man with a ciggy playing arcade games, image burned into head. such a vibe.

[@IndyAdvant]

Great doc! I remember seeing it in 2020.

[@PinkneysDefiant]

Great doc! Thanks!

[@MrScaryel]

Like from Russia❤ MK the most important part of my childhood.

[@DEVGAMER1]

I worked at midway/williams home entertainment for 11 years. I remember the Tony Hawk Pitch coming in and wanting it badly but at the time I was in QA and had little to no say in anything. I remember Warkhawk being pitched, evaluating it too and saying it was great and management passing on it, was pretty frustrating.

[@insertcoindoc]

Amazing!

[@k.k8291]

Great documentary

[@insertcoindoc]

Thank you! Please share out!

[@bzhmaddog]

Loved it

[@ScottyPhoton]

1:33:00 The Grid is awesome. Funny enough galloping ghost arcade is where I've played it. 😄 I wish it had a PC remaster.

[@Bramon83]

neil one hell of a bossman

[@jpVari]

I played The Grid within the last year in a house in NJ. They had four setups so it's a fucking party. The game is awesome.

[@Bramon83]

bro.... not gunna lie, im totally jelly... bong rips and the grid... bet

[@AdamsDuhStuff]

This is epic! I love it so much. Please make a better custom thumbnail (unless you already have by now). Also, in the future please make sure your audio mix is good to go with MeterPlugs Loudness Penalty. Commercial breaks are LOUD!

[@insertcoindoc]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@chadhoganlive]

This is good stuff.

[@insertcoindoc]

Thank you! Please share out!

[@Sammy1970]

That dude at the beginning looks like the quartering lmfao!!😂😂

[@Bramon83]

i know right, made me dislike him immediately and it took a min to figure out why..... ugh him and D-day cobra.... ugh

[@jonbourgoin182]

55:13 ahh yes, back when bad meant good! Pretty sure today it would be "bad ass" but back then it was..."I love the power glove, it's so bad"

[@adammason4314]

1:19:50 Hearing Paul ws Anderson complain about being disappointed about the Mortal Kombat movie is kinda how I feel about all his whole career..

[@RossDaunis]

❤

[@Lewandabski]

We can do whatever we want 😂 40:46

[@BlaizeV]

the lack of actual Ed Boon is unfortunate

[@THEONLYGORE]

[@sadboi7537]

Not one mention of CarnEvil. What a shame….

[@SalvadorButtersworth]

"I spent 20 years trying to see the pleasure dome of cartoon video game girls, and YOU should be ashamed" ?

[@Ottophil]

Savant rules.

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

It’s about time yall put this out. So much money lost but restricting access.

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

Imagine telling us in the mid 90’s after the idiotic craze against video games being violent that some day things would be a million times worse not better.

[@AgentQQ8]

LoL

[@michellefernandez3155]

IDK what Andrea Rene, Keisha Howard and Carly Kocurek doing on this documentary. Who are they in comparison with the other legends on this video? And i say that as a woman. Also why is there not a single mention of Tobias? Geez.

[@Walkeranz]

14:51

[@DeAthWaGer]

To provide awkward and sometimes irrelevant comments like a bad TMZ show?

[@grgmj1980]

I personally hated the MK movie

[@jerryskid420]

By you calling Midway punk rock what you're saying is there a bunch of talentless hacks that couldn't cut it on a real level so they decided that they were going to make something juvenile that pales in comparison to the real thing that's exactly what punk rock is to rock. It's lost not knows talentless punks self profast to have no talent. I'm sure Midway does not want to be referred to as punk. I'm sure they would like to be recognized as the real thing. What disrespect are you showing the Midway by calling them punk. What are they going to sell out start playing pop and rallying for politicians.
